I mean, I would hardly call Jacks Mannequin a side project, but I guess at one point in time it was. That being said though, Dashboard was just a side project for Chris in the beginning of Further Seems Forever, so if that is defined as a "side-project" in this discussion, then DC definitely deserves to be mentioned. That being said, I personally dont think either should be referred to as side projects, even though at one point they may have been.

I am surprised there was no mention of: The Postal Service, The Horrible Crowes (I mention them because wasnt it just last week POZ did an "albums that deserve to be classics in 2020", and they said thay though Elsie deserved it?), Dustin Kensrue's solo album.

Past Lives, fronted by Jordan from The Blood Brothers is one of my favorite side projects.
